The Sabean Snicker

I listened to most of the show yesterday and Ralph left me with very little material. He tried to prompt Manny Lawson into a discussion over Singletary getting the permanent head coaching job, but Manny didn't take the bait. Don Nelson was just overall giddy to actually win a game the other night, so there was nothing there. The callers were the usual, whereby, if they agree with Ralph then they get to talk and if they disagree then Ralph yells over them with his own opinion followed by the caller being disconnected. All that being said:

If you listened to the beginning of the show, Ralph read the Sabean quotes from the John Shea article from the chronicle, while giggling with glee the whole time.

Ralph you are not the reason that Sabean is blowing up and dropping the F-bomb on the media. I know that you love to make yourself feel all powerful in your mind by believing that your opinions and words can have such a profound effect on people.

You believe that you drove Armando Benitez out of town with your constant barrage of Sabean. While putting together the Messenger/Benitez deal, I'm positive Sabean was thanking you for pointing out, at every possible opportunity, Benitez' multiple faults. I hear that general manager's of baseball teams don't often get to evaluate their talent, so thank god he had you as head scout.

You believe that you changed Bochy's mind about letting Lincecum pitch deeper into games because you threw a 2-year old's temper tantrum when attending a Giants game with your son and Bochy took away your favorite toy that you had enjoyed playing with for 7 innings. Why shouldn't Bochy risk his franchise player in a meaningless game so that YOU can enjoy your toy for two more innings?

You are not the bus driver for Monta Ellis. That bus had been filled long before you even bought a ticket.

Sabean gives you about as much thought as Pitt gives Aniston while he's donkey-punching the tomb raider. Please stop thinking that you make a difference with our local teams. You don't.
